FridayFeb5,2021at10:50AM

JACKSON - From "The Walking Dead" to "The Santa Clarita Diet," the popularity of zombies never dies.

Join the Concatenation Convention, or "Con Con," for a discussion with author Frank Swain, whose work has investigated the science behind attempts to create "real-life" zombies. A free virtual discussion will be held at 1 p.m. Feb. 13.

Swains book "How to Make a Zombie: The Real Life (and Death) Science of Reanimation and Mind Control" explores the incredible history of attempts to raise the dead and subjugate the living, from clandestine Soviet laboratories to witch doctors of Haiti.

Swain is an award-winning science writer whose work has appeared in MIT Tech Review, Wired, Vice, Hakai and BBC. He lives in Barcelona, Spain.

Those interested may register for this free virtual event at bit.ly/3jitXtu. After registering, you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing information about joining the discussion.

In 2021, Con Con continues its year-long exploration of reanimation and the forces of nature that inspire humans to create art and culture.

Jackson College professors Steven Albee-Scott and Steven Tuckey, with community member Jon Hart, coordinate the events. Learn more at http://www.jxnconcon.org.
